Like a Cancer, the Broad Foundation

should have been cut out of education policy a long time ago and its Broad Superintendent Academy "fellows" discredited. Unfortunately they are still out there and will be for a long time to come thanks to school districts being starved to death by the state legislatures and by a federal government clearly hostile to public education.

We should at least be thankful another article in a mainstream publication is actually writing about the Broad bunch:

The colonization Ravitch spoke about, the placement of Broad superintendents and resident fellows where there are already Broad alumnus, is known as pipelining, which appears to be happening at the DOE.

Broad’s expanding numbers and placements across the country explain critic’s concerns.

Hundreds of Broad residents have been placed in districts and charter school organizations since 2001.

Residency candidates must have four years of work in a business environment. An advanced degree is required. The majority are MBAs. Most are in their late 20s or early 30s.

People who are the least fucking qualified to "run" schools. If you have no background in education, you have NO business running a school district.
